Ah! Penny has dropped! It's where the expression "read your face like a book" comes from.
Samsung and LG entering the e-bike market

I have to manhandle the Rose over a couple of steps through two doors to get it to its parking space under the stairs.
The walk feature does make that a bit easier.
Regrettably, the walk feature also comes in handy when I conk out on that ruddy Iveston bank.
Pushing a heavy ebike up a steep hill when knackered and mentally defeated is not easy.
Not that I'm in any way obsessed with that hill.

As of yet I have yet to find a hill I can't get up! This is particularly surprising as I have a mental block regarding hills. I am surrounded by hills so I think I might fit a smaller chin ring next time.
It gets worse!
Apparently both Expedia.co.uk and Booking.com quote lower hotel rates to mobile inquiries than to inquiries from PCs using their website. It's what they've negotiated with hoteliers on the fatuous grounds that mobile inquiries are more likely to be close to a booking.

Personally I cannot see the need for all this extra electronics.
The function they provide is very limited and only of interest to a minority.
"Build in electronics, build in potential problems."
Our bikes are a compromise of the least possible power to enable their use without need of legal restraint as per motor vehicles.
Let us enjoy them as such. They provide a near cycling experience for most of us, i.e. simplicity, instant availability, go as you please, enjoy the fresh air etc.
The beauty of an unpowered bike is that such a simple arrangement of metal and rubber transforms a long walk with its attendant sore feet etc. into a pleasant journey with little fatigue. A simple addition of an electric motor improves that experience when hills and head winds are encountered.
If you want sophisticated controls, may as well get a motor cycle and be done with it.

I think that using technology is a bit like climbing a mountain (cos it's there) but don't understand the motor cycle reference.. So far as I know you can't control one of those with an I-phone
The Bosch Nyon system will be backwards compatiable for bikes with Active and Performace line drive unit. It should be available to purchase seperately in 2015 though not officially confirmed. Price is also to be confirmed.
At a quick glance the Bosch Classic is a lower slung ,more angular motor and comes with either the original HMI display/button console or Intuvia in Silver surround.
The Active and Performance 2014 motors are more of a sideways teardrop shape and are more compact.
Active has a Silver/Grey Plastic cover, and the Performance has a Black cover.
Also the Intuvia Display and button cluster surrounds are black on performance.
Yours is the Classic motor.

Hi Martin
Thanks for the information... No good to me then, unless I trade up to a newer model.... Not likely in the current economic climate....
